The best selling PC game makes the jump to console at last. In the
Playstation version there is now levels, as well as the free game
like the PC. There is also a two-player option you can work
cooperatively in a open game or against each other in a variety
of fun mini games. Some new items have been added that aren't in
the original PC game, which gives the feeling of more to do.
007- "My Review"
----------------
Graphics- 8/10
Not the best graphics ever to grace the PS2 but it gets the job done
in a clear way. But the graphics don't matter in a game like this, so
don't be put off!
Gameplay- 9/10
BRILLIANT. If you like this type of game then you will love the Sims
everything is perfect. The only time it does get frustrating is when
you keep running out of time to do things before it is time for work
again. Other than that it is superb, thereís loads of little details
like being able to see things such as paintings take shape and selling
them for a price that rises with your skill level. You will either
love it or hate it!
Sounds- 5/10
They still don't talk in English but sometimes you can just about make
out what they are trying to say. At first their language is amusing
but soon gets repetitive, so sling on some music when playing.
Lifespan- 10/10
The "Get a life" levels don't last very long, but the open-ended gameplay
will last you a lifetime, well a long time anyway! You can't finish it
so it will be over when you get bored and if you like the game to start
off with then it is hard to get bored with it.
Originality- 4/10
The level based game-play gives it a bit of originality but other than that
there is none. But who needs it when it is a game that works so well? It is
still addictive. This is not an issue with the game that is this good.
Overall- 9/10
Very fun and will keep you inside for days. Maybe it could do with a few more
items than it has but that doesnít bother you when playing that much!
Rent or Buy? - Buy
Just look at the lifespan!! Maybe rent if you have never played it.

for them other wise they will get taken off you.
5. Keep them in school- Just make sure they are in a good mood before they go
and make sure there grades don't drop too much.
6. Finish house in eight days- now this is very hard! The best way to do it is
when you have time on the levels before get the points that you need up. Make
sure the friends you have are yours not your partners. The When you go onto
this level you don't have to worry about getting them. When the baby is born
put it in the bedroom so they wake up when he cries and make sure you care for
it well. When it is grown up make sure it stays in school by keeping it happy
but also keep their school grade around A/B's. This may work, I don't know I
didn't manage to finish it in time.
Unlockable:

promotion and then go to work in a good mood.
2. Send kids to prep school with straight A's- Easy. Just get them to study
before they go to school and when they are grade a/a+ they will go.
Make sure you have $1,200 each though or you will lose some items.
3. Save $20,000 to buy a yacht for early retirement- you shouldn't
find this very hard with level 10 jobs- it will take about 20 days
though.
4. Throw a GREAT party before you retire- This is hard. Get loads of people
round a table eating get some in the swimming pool and then get them all to
talking to each other.
5. Finish the house in eight days or less- It makes it easier if you already
have the friends and the points needed to get promoted. Get them in the spare
time in the other levels. Make sure the kids have at least an B going into the
level and make them study straight away. When they go to school they have to
have at least an A- And it will cost you $1,500 per child to send them to
Prep school. (Make sure you have this or they will take some of your items)
When building this house if you don't have much money it is fine to sell the
rug and the bearskin to get money. Don't spend too much money though because
you need to save up $20,000 for a yacht to retire. When you get promoted throw
a party (See no.4).
Unlockable:
1. Send children to prep school with straight A's- Monkey Butler
2. Get promoted to level 10- The Park (two player game)
3. Finish house in eight days or less- Rhino Trophy
011 Jobs
---------
011.1 General info
- - - - - - - - - -
To get a job look in any paper or computer and there will be three to choose
from in any one-day wait till the next day and they might change. When you get
your Sim to look for a job make sure their mood has at least one green or they
will refuse to look. Another thing that helps is to make sure you have a few
points in each category (cooking, mechanical, logic, creativity and body)
before you apply, then you will get promoted quicker and earn more money.
There are ten levels in each job, each needing more points then the last level
to get there. The five different types of jobs are: Military, Slacker,
Criminal, Musician , Entertainment and Extreme.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Tip: If you are finding it hard to get the points/ friends needed to get
promoted then you can take every other day off. If you take two days off in a
row you will get sacked though.

012 - Motives
---------------
Hunger- any fridge/cooker will put this up the more expensive the appliance
the more their hunger will be satisfied. When you have enough money buy:
A food Processor- this will cut the coking time right down and as there aren't
enough hours in the day anyway this is a great help.
The best fridge- This provides 8 hunger and with all the other things that you
will have your Sim will get full after just one helping. It is expenive
though-$2,000
The best cooker- This will make your meals great and you won't need two. Make
sure that you have at least three cooking before you buy it though or you
could just have a dead Sim.(you can get away with two cooking points but you
still occasionally get a fire)
Hygiene- Take a shower or a bath to fix this. Note: if you wet yourself this
will go right down. When you can afford it and when you've unlocked the sonic
shower (Get promoted to level 6- Hot to Trot) Buy this because it fills the
hygine meter and allot of the comfort. It also takes little time ompared to
the bath that gives the same comfort and hygine even if it costs more.
Note: If in the shower options it says "clean" then do it before you use it
or it won't work.
Energy- the best way is to sleep in a bed but you can take a nap on a sofa.
For a quick fix you can drink an espresso. When you can afford it and when you
have ulocked it buy the The Vibromatic Heart Bed (Increase house value from
$46,050 to $48,050-Hot to Trot) this bed is not only the best bed for energy
and comfort it also comes with:
Vibrate- They lie down and enjoy
Relax- Just relax in it
And Play in bed- Get one of them to vibrate and then with the other click on
the other bed on select "play in bed" and they will go under the covers and do
their stuff. This will bring Fun and social up but energy down. Also both of
the Sims need to be in a good mood before they do it.
Social- Ring someone to talk to him or her or anyone that you live with. The
best way to get this up is to talk to the person tha you live with but if you
don't live with anyone then ring someone it just won't do it as quickally.
most of the time it is best to live with someone then this meter won't be hard
to fill.
Comfort- Loads of things sort out this problem such as: sleeping, sitting,
some showers give them comfort aswell. For this I would have:
-The sonic shower (Get promoted to level 6- Hot to Trot) Buy this because it
fills the hygine meter and allot of the comfort.
-The The Vibromatic Heart Bed (Increase house value from
$46,050 to $48,050-Hot to Trot) this bed is not only the best bed for energy
and comfort it also comes with:
Vibrate- They lie down and enjoy
Relax- Just relax in it
And Play in bed- What do you think it means?
-And the "The Deiter" by Werkbunnst this gives 8 comfort, 5 energy and 3
room. It is the best sofa that you can get and is only $1,100 which is not
that much for what it gives.
Bladder- basically, go to the toilet. For this I wouldn't bother getting the
best one just the cheap normal one will do just as well it just dosn't give
any comfort which you don't need.
Fun- this one will change from Sim to Sim playful Sims enjoy computers and VR
goggles but serious Sims enjoy reading books. Again when you can afford it buy
the "Meet Marco" computer as it gives 9 fun. If you can't afford this buy the
SSRI Virtual Reality Set which gives 7 fun. Whatever you do buy don't buy
anything that gives less then 4 fun or you will be there all day waiting for
the meter to go up. This is what I have in my house:
The best computer
The goggles
The widescreen TV
I have all these to get there fun up and it gives them more to do.
Room- have pictures in every room to keep it up plus have no rubbish around
the house. The picture that I have found to be the best is Portrait Grid by
Payne A. Pitcher which gives 8 room and it is only $3,200 this may seem a lot
but it is worth it. Another thing is not to have tables outside because for
some reason it brings their room right down when they go outside, this will
make them in a worse mood for work and won't be able to get promoted as easy.
013 - Personality
------------------
Neat- if you have this then your Sim will make the bed, tidy up, wash there
hands after going to the toilet all the time. I wouldn't have any neatness
because they just waste time of which you don't have much.
Outgoing- the more of these they have the easier they will find it to make
friends. I would fill this to about half because you need this but don't waste
too many points on it. The more you fill this the longer it will take to fill
the social meter.
Active- if you have it high then your Sim will enjoy getting sweaty and doing
physical labour. I would again have this about half full for the same reason
as above. The more you fill this the quicker it wil take to get body points
but it dosn't make that much difference though.
Playful- the more of these you have then the more your Sim will like playing
on computers, etc. If you only have a couple of these then they will like
reading books instead. I would put a bit more than half for this because it
is easier to get their fun filled.
Nice- they will make friends a lot easier the more of these you have and they
won't be nasty to other Sims. I personally would fill it or at least have
it very high.
014 - Career points
--------------------
Cooking- Study using a bookcase have at least three of these or you could set
yourself on fire. The more of these that you have the more the food you cook
will fill you up.
Mechanical- Study using a bookcase have at least three of these or you won't
always be able to fix broken items. If you buy a workshop you can make gnomes
and then decarate your garden or just sell them off.
Creativity- To get this up you can: paint, use an artists block, Use a guitar
or play the piano. You will only need these for your job. Also if you use a
easel or an artists block you can sell your work off. The price that you get
for your work rises with the more points that you have.
Body- Use either a weight lifter or the treadmill. You don't need these other
than for some careers. They also take an age to get.
Charisma- just speak into any mirror. Only jobs need this. These also take an
age to get and they are really anoying when they are getting them.
Logic- You can get these in two ways: they are using a chess set or using the
telescope. When using the telescope sometimes you can get taken into the
stars, when this happpens just wait and your Sim will come back.
015 - Relationships
--------------------
All careers friends. To get them ring someone and invite them round.
When they ring if they say they won't come round or they don't like you just
ring again straight away keep doing this and they should say yes. Their
replies are totallyramdom so just keep trying.
When they are round at your house at first just talk to them because the
weirdoís don't like being complimented at first. When they are your friend
compliment them and joke with them. After you get to 80 and above flirt with
them but wait till you love them and have 100 relationship before you try and
kiss them or your relationship will drop rapidly. Talking to people is the
only way to get your social up.
To get your Sim to do the same thing twice in a row you:
If you wanted to talk twice in a row first you pick talk, then you pick a
different one and then talk again. After you have done this press 'select'
and press 'X' on the one that you don't want and then there will be two in a
row. (Do this lots of times and you will have one thing reapeted up to 7
times)

018 Two Player Games
----------------------
In the Playstation 2 version of the Sims there are a number of fun two player
games.
018.1 - How to unlock them
- - - - - - - - - - - - - -
1. Museum- Borrow $800 from mum. (Money from mum)
2. Frat House- Move in with Dudley or Mimi. (Reality Bites)
3. Taylor's Place - Throw a raging party. (Party Animals)
4. Park- Greet and feed Bobo. (Party Animals, Hot to Trot and Who loves ya
Baby) Also get promoted to level 10. (The Last Simolen)
5. Club Abih- Throw a raging party (Hot to Trot)
6. Maids House- Get promoted to level eight. (Who Loves Ya Baby)
7. Handyman's House- Get promoted to level eight. (Who Loves Ya Baby)
018.2 - What you do in each one
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Museum- In this game you have to squeeze more money out of the inspectors
than the other player in 10:00 minutes. The best thing to do is to get the
inspector to fall in love with you, then ask for the money otherwise they
won't give it to you and not like you as much.
Frat house- Be the first to make three friends in a party use your
relationship building skills to do this. But it isn't that simple you can
spared rumours abut the other player to people and if they believe them they
will stay away from them. You have to be friends with them first though or
they won't believe. Get three friends and you're off to the hot tub.
Taylor's Place - How many people can you make fall in love with you in ten
minutes? However many make sure that it is more then the other player. This
one is similar to "Frat House" but you have to fall in love not just make
friends and there is no rumour spreading. Shame. Be careful though a person
won't fall in love with both players at the same time.
Club Abih- How many people can you make fall in love with you in ten minutes?
However many, make sure that it is more then the other player. This one is
similar to "Frat House" but you have to fall in love not just make friends and
there is no rumour spreading. Shame. Be careful though a person won't fall in
love with both players at the same time.
The Maid's House- Tidy up the maid's house the side that is cleanest when the
maid get there wins a heart and if you keep her kid happy she might give you
some more. However there is a catch every-so-often a "messy neighbour" will
come along and mess the place up a bit. Just keep the place as tidy as you can
and as long as it is tidier then the other players half then you get the heart.
The Handyman's House- Tidy up the handyman's house the side that is cleanest
when the handyman get there wins a heart and if you keep his kid happy he
might give you some more. However there is a catch every-so-often a "messy
neighbour" will come along and mess the place up a bit. Just keep the place as
tidy as you can and as long as it is tidier then the other players half then
you get the heart.
The Park- In this one you need to fill yorself up on food. There are three
ways to get this food they are:
Grill your own- but when you do this eveyone cones and nicks it and you don't
have much for yourself.
Beg for food- you have to get a good relasinship to do this or they will
refuse to give it to you.
Steal food- you can go up to any one and steal it but be carfull because
sometimes they turn around and steal it off you.
They get a bit boring after a while especially as Taylor's Place and Club Abih
are the same. And The Maid's House and The Handyman's House are the same!
019 - House Building
---------------------
This is the thing that your Sim will live in so it needs to be good.
019.1 Hints and Tips
- - - - - - - - - -
Sims like big houses with lots of windows, your Sims are thick so they need
everything placed so they can get at them real easy.
~ It is best not to make your house too big because it is surprising how much
time is taken moving around a big house. (However good it looks)
~ When Building make sure every room is easily accessible other wise your Sim
will be in a very bad mood if they can't get to something.
~ When building a house remember how many it is for. The best no. that I find
is:
1 Sim:
1 Bedroom
1 Bathroom
1 kitchen
1 Living area
1 Study (Exerciser, bookcase etc)
2 Sims:
1 Bedroom
1 Bathroom
1 kitchen
1 Living area
1 Study (Exerciser, bookcase etc)
1 Dining room
3 Sims:
2 Bedrooms
2 Bathrooms
1 Kitchen
1 Living area
2 Study (Exerciser, bookcase etc)
1 Dining room
1 Outside area
4 Sims:
3 Bedrooms
2 Bathrooms
1 Big kitchen 1 small kitchen
1 Big living area
2 Study (Exerciser, bookcase etc)
1 Dining room
1 Outside area
019.2 - Dos and Don'ts
- - - - - - - - - - - -
Do:
Have lots of windows
Have big rooms
Have a lot of items
Don't:
Have dead plants outside
Have too much rubbish on the floor
Have too many rooms.
Have rooms inside rooms:
----------------------- Key
| | | | ---- Horizontal Wall
| | | |
|---------------------- |
| | | | |
| | x | | | Vertical Wall
| | | |
| |-------| | X the room you shouldn't have
| | | |
-----------------------
X: You shouldn't have this room because it is totally surrounded by other
rooms so no natural light can get in and your Sim won't like this. Their
room meter will be constantly down.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TO MAKE SENSE OF THE DIEAGRAMS LOOK AT THE KEY.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Here I will list what I think is the minimum you should have in your house
for different budgets.
$20,000 Budget
- - - - - - -
Bedroom-
All you need in a bedroom is a bed to start off with. This meaning you can get
a good one.
Bathroom-
A toilet- the cheap one.
A bath/shower- Again a cheap one. Probably bet to start off with a shower.
A sink- only buy this if you can afford it.
Living area-
A sofa-
A TV- The $500 one not the very cheap one.
Kitchen-
3-4 worktops- The NuMica one.
A sink- to wash the pots in.
A fridge- the cheapest one for now.
A microwave- if you can afford a cooker buy one otherwise a microwave will do
fine, for now.
A bin- it saves time.
Study (or just put these in the living room)
An easel
A mirror
A bookcase
An exercise machine- if you can afford it, if not wait a few days.
|----------------------| This is a crappy diagram of what the first
| | \ | house I made looked like.
| Be | / |
| | Li \ Ki | Key
|-------| / | --- & |
| Ba | \ | | = walls
| | / |
|----------------------| \
/
\ = not a wall but where the area separates.
Be= Bedroom
Ba= Bathroom
Li= Living area
ki= Kitchen
It may be small but it does the job and you won't be able afford anything
better anyway with $20,000.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

I know befor i said don't put rooms in rooms but this one works because it is
a swimming pool in the middle and they don't go in there much plus it makes
the house look cool. The only thing that you have to watch out for when making
this house is the furnish meter.
To make mine I did:
Put a swimming pool in the middle
Then built a wall two squares away from the edge of the pool all the way
around the pool.
After that I put another wall around the wall I just built but this time it
was five away all the way around.
Split it into rooms
And furnished it.
3. Letters
Stupid as it may seem you can make a house in the shape of loads of letters!
I did one in a 'J' for Josh (my name)

020 - Hint and tips
-------------------
Just wanted to tell you that I found a WAY to make the ENERGY LEVEL go up
much faster than getting zapped. You can even RAISE your energy level while
rasing your Comfort level, Hygiene Level, Fun Level, and Social Level up.
All you need is the AROMA MACHINE. You set it on Juniper and Rosemary and
your ENERGY level rises when yu have that on and your in a room. What I do
is 2 things. I can get full Comfort and ENERGY level to MAX if I do the
following. Turn on the AROMA Machine to Juniper & Rosemary, Lit a Fire, and
Fall A Sleep on the Vibro-a-matic Love bed. You should get Full Energy in a
matter of 1 hour, 2 hour tops. OR you can put a An AROMA MACHINE in any
room and put the Juniper and Rosemary scent on, then get into a HOT TUB,
and talk socialize with someone to get your ENERGY, COMFORT, FUN, HYGEINE,
& SOCIAL LEVEL UP at the same time.
Basically put AROMA machines in every room (even outside) and set it to
Juniper and Rosemary and watch your ENERGY LEVEL rise to even MAX.
Thanks to Mike Alvia for this tip.
You have a plasma tv a pair of VR goggles and the best computer i found all
of these a good source of fun, but........... i found the pool table the
best source of fun, aaahhhhhh but its rate of fun is only 7 you
say............. stick the best stereo next to it(fun rating 5)i think it
combines its fun with the pool tables(when on) and i noticed the fun level
goes up a lot faster than any of the other gadgets on there own, i dont
know
whether you can do the same type of thing with any of the other items you
can buy but this seems to work for me. Just try it!
Thanks to Craig Dunne for this tip.
It's quite simple to beat Get a Life and the bonuses as well. Your mom can
work on making gnomes. She won't study mechanical but she'll make gnomes.
And for some reason, her Hygiene, Comfort, and Social levels don't fall.
Now
you can get all the career points at home! If you want the guitar, just
beat
the first level under 24, and then save onto your neighborhood. With all
the
career points maxed, you can beat Get a Life in the time limits, and get
those nice bonuses. Many people don't believe that she could make gnomes
because she refuses to study mech or cooking, but she'll do the activities
that build up the career points and have something else involved with them.
Thanks to Scot M. for this tip.
